for example,

whole durum wheat = not safe to eat raw

there's toxins in it, which you likely know or have experienced, or have researched

so that's safety reason for why you have to cook it

---

for both whole durum wheat pasta

and for semolina pasta

* what is the minimum cook time (about) that makes each of these pasta technically cooked, and thereby safe?

question applies more to whole durum wheat

dunno if semolina is safe to eat raw or not

all else equal, same pot, same amount, same stove, etc. etc. etc.

there's a very slight risk of e-coli.

all mammals carry e-coli in their digestive tract. not all mammals use the bathroom. their poop winds up the fields and can 'contaminate' any crop.

e-coli is killed at 160'F / 72'C - so boiling is a sufficient precaution.

there's another kind of toxins

sounds like you dont know about it though

* please eat whole durum wheat wheat raw the entire day today

see what happens

the questions are unsolved
